"Pittsburg
[sic!], Mrs. Elsie Greve, recently of New York, but formerly
of Berlin, was arrested in crowded Fifth Avenue this forenoon
while walking by the side of her husband, F. P. Greve of New
York, dressed in men's clothes and puffing a cigarette. Both
Mrs. Greve and her husband were taken, protesting, to the central
police station and locked up as suspicious persons. / Both Greve
and his wife asserted that they were subjects of Germany, had
done no wrong, and intended no wrong. If they were not released
speedily, they would appeal to the German Ambassador at Washington
to-morrow morning, they said. Whether this threat was considered
or not is not known, but this evening it was announced at Police
Headquarters that Mrs. Greve and her husband had been allowed
to leave the police station and go on their way, and that Supt.
of Police McQuaide issued a letter to the pair setting forth
that Mrs. Greve and her husband were all right and that the
woman was wearing men's clothes only because she could walk
better and keep up with her husband, who was walking out his
vacation."
